Old School RuneScape DEI Update

Old School RuneScape Going straight to the point: after 23 years since its original release, Jagex decided to release a "DEI update" for Old School RuneScape where they removed the male and female sexes from the character creator screen, replacing them with the infamous Body Type A and Body Type B. And not only that, they also added pronouns! Because of course they had to go with the full combo, right? Now you can be a They/Them in a 23 years old game too!

A parody announcement about Old School RuneScape showing the game's logo and joking that Jagex replaced male and female character options with Body Type A and Body Type B, while adding pronouns. The punchline mocks modern DEI and gender terminology by imagining a 23-year-old game receiving a contemporary identity update, so it works as a sarcastic reaction to culture-war discourse and perceived forced inclusivity.
